Selena Gomez Backs Taylor Swift After Kanye West Calls Her BFF Out With Controversial 'Famous' Lyrics

By Lynda Brendish 8:01 PM PST, February 13, 2016

Looks like Selena Gomez is on Taylor Swift's team.

The "Good For You" singer answered questions about Kanye West's controversial lyrics about Swift on SiriumXM Hits1's The Morning Mash Up on Friday.

On his new track, "Famous," West raps "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b**ch famous." He debuted the song during his Yeezy Season 3 fashion show on Thursday at Madison Square Garden.

Asked what she thought of the diss, Gomez responded, "Everyone has their own opinion. At the end of the day you can just do what you do."

But the 23-year-old singer was clearly supportive of her BFF. "She's killing it and she kind of always has been," Gomez said of Swift.

The lyrics have stirred controversy and started a he-said, she-said war of words. "Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, 'I made that b**ch famous,'" the "Bad Blood" singer's rep said in a statement to ET.

The rep also claimed that Swift, 26, cautioned West about releasing a song "with such a strong misogynistic message."

"I'm not even gone take credit for the idea… it's actually something Taylor came up with," the "All Day" rapper revealed on Twitter. "She was having dinner with one of our friends who's name I will keep out of this and she told him, 'I can't be mad at Kanye because he made me famous!' #FACTS."

Swift will perform at the GRAMMYs on Monday night, and we have a few ideas how she should address it during the show:
